Reader favorites on RowdyKittens included:

2. Photography—I’m happy my photography portfolio was one of the top hits for reader views.

3. Living with 72 Things—In October 2009, I wrote a post titled Living with 72 Things. This short essay received a lot of traction in 2016. Honestly, it surprised me because the essay is old, and I no longer count my belongings.

4. Letting Go of Sentimental Items—Back in 2011, Joshua Millburn of The Minimalists wrote a guest post about letting go of sentimental items for you. For the last few years, it’s been one of the most popular essays on RowdyKittens. And speaking of The Minimalists, be sure to watch their film—Minimalism—on Netflix

5. Swimming in the Weeds—I swim with the Rogue Valley Masters team in Ashland, OR. I’m taking a break from early morning swim practices because of winter road conditions. Once the weather warms up, I’ll be back in the pool. Until then, I’ll be dreaming about swimming while I’m CrossFitting.

6. Real Talk Radio—I was going to share a year-end review with you. However, I realized that my conversation with Nicole Antoinette on Real Talk Radio is a great summary of my year—the highs, lows, and everything in-between. Tune-in here.

This year was difficult, but I'm grateful for all the lessons I’ve learned. Thank you for the encouraging words, the likes, comments, and all the love. Cheers to producing creative work in the New Year. I can't wait to share my 2017 project plans with you.
